Hollywood beauty Penelope Cruz has helped raise $333,000 for the earthquake-stricken nation of Haiti by auctioning off her designer dresses at the Cannes Film Festival. The Academy winning actress helped raise the money for Haiti by selling the designer dresses, which she had worn to various high profile red carpet events, reported Contactmusic.

The 35-year-old Spanish beauty and jewellery maker Chopard raised the sum by organising an auction for the Jenkins-Penn Haitian Relief Organisation at Cannes.
